From Devon to Provence by bike in 90 seconds…
.
What a great last 2 1/2 weeks we’ve had pedalling from the pretty village of East Budleigh in Devon, back to Provence, covering 1167km by bike…
.
This latest adventure started as a conversation about how we could get back to France after the summer, and became a cycle ride, designed around the first 2 #ProD2 rugby matches of our team @provencerugbyofficiel . First, away at Angoulême and then at home in Aix-en-Provence…
.
We pedalled through beautiful parts of France, taking the roads less-travelled, making the route up as we went along, after our original plans were changed by storms…
.
It’s hard to believe it’s over so quickly, but now it’s time to pack everything away and start getting ready for our next adventure in 2 weeks time … An autumn in Japan…

Our latest adventure in 90 seconds. We started with this, packed it into this, and loaded it onto this. We cycled into exit. Weather wasn’t great. Caught a train or three and hopped on a ferry. Arriving in Portsouth and then San Marlo. Did a bit of sightseeing, pedal through Britain. It was beautiful. even camp. We caught ferry across the noir, arrived in the maron, spent a glorious day on the elder mutier, and then pedled on to the marry Potter, a quiet morning, and on again to Rashford, a great place to stay. From there we caught the bridge aled through the mar and um tom for a pro day province rugby first match of the season. We lost but we cycled on said hello to cats past shadows crossed the river and got caught in downpour. We stopped in Jurassled around the area. Beautiful. And then onto Bordeaux along the Roger Lapy Trail. Four trains to aches or more roughly. We lost. But then it was a cycle home across the Lubron. What a wonderful time we’ve
